Cramps for several days BEFORE ovulation?

I have been having cramping for past two days and my temps are still low indicating no ovulation. I know cramping during O is common, but has anyone had cramping for 2-3 days before ovulation??

 My chart:

    I have had that for the last two cycles and I have no idea why.  Maybe I'm just paying attention to it more.  This cycle wasn't too bad but last cycle was downright painful.
    Off BCP August 2010, NFP to avoid. Start TTC May 2011. TTA December 2011 - May 2012 doctor's orders :( TTC July 2012-January 2013. Currently pursuing Napro Technology. January 2013: Napro nurse is starting me on Vitex 3 DPO and Naproxen 8 DPO until my first appointment with the doctor. Based on my charts, they highly suspect endometriosis. image

    Yes, I typically get cramps anywhere from 2-3 days during my cycle prior to O.  I've had light cramps since Monday and I am fairly certain I Oed yesterday.  So I think a few days of cramping is normal.

    Same here, maybe you have just not noticed it as much before or maybe they are worse this cycle than normal. I often have cramps at least 1 day before I ovulate.

    I start cramping 3-5 days before ovulation.  It gets worse as worse the closer I get then completely goes away once I O.

    Thanks for the reassurance ladies! I always thought cramping occurred during ovulation, not days before. Diane - you crack me up! He is a cutie isn't he? :) I have to updatde the pic though as that was obviously from Halloween!!!

    This is normal for me as well.  I get crampy and a bit bloated about 1-2 days before O.

    I am so glad someone asked this question.  I feel like I have been cramping for 3-4 days, and am supposed to O today.  My CM isn't clear and stringy though, it is still white-ish... I wonder if that means I won't O for another couple days?  My period began on July 18, and is consistent but because I have been on the pill until July 12th.  Anyone in the same boat-ish?

    This cycle, I had O pains 4 days before I O'd. It didn't go away until the day after O. It was quite uncomfortable, not to mention frustrating when it took days to turn the OPK positive.
